Inspired by Fetish Memetics: Here's my personal experience with figging!
Some background info:
Figging is a form of BDSM pain play in which a piece of raw, peeled ginger is inserted into a person's ass. It creates an intense burning sensation.
And I am willing to try most things at least once.
So, being the sexual scientist I am, I had to experiment. It should be noted that figging used to be on my list of hard limits, but it is no longer. (I couldn't understand why anyone would want to experience such a thing but insatiable curiosity got the best of me.)
I trip-trapped down to the market, and bought two nice-sized pieces of ginger for $.24. (Hey, it's economical!) I spent some time peeling a piece into just the right shape and size, and threaded a string through the ginger so it wouldn't get lost in there and cause me eternal torment.
I got my play area set up, with toys and pillows all around, and took a deep breath because I was truly afraid. I didn't know what to expect except for intense ass burning, and who the hell wants that?
I approached the insertion somewhat hesitantly-- I touched the ginger to the outside of my ass and it was a bit warm and sting-y but not so bad. I waited a few moments and slid it partway in. Holy fuck, it burned. I wanted to stop right then, but instead I pushed it all the way in. I closed my eyes, felt tears squeeze out, leaned back and settled in for the ride.
It's somewhat difficult to accurately describe the series of escalating sensations I experienced. I entered a highly endorphined state after the first couple of minutes, and that state evolved consistently throughout the experiment.
My entire body from the waist down felt like it was simultaneously on fire and vibrating. I could feel my heart beating in my ass and pussy. My pussy lubricated copiously and constantly in response to the sensation, and my clit became highly sensitive. I played with my clit a little, but couldn't make myself come because the other sensation was too intense. There were more than a few times when it was so intense I thought I couldn't take it anymore, but I pushed through it with deep breathing and was rewarded with another endorphin rush.
And then, suddenly, I decided I was done. I pulled the ginger out, and almost immediately, the burning ceased. I was relieved, and super happy to know that there was no persistent pain. Then I made myself come, and considered it a full day's research.
I tried this also It was good. and you explain it well. My cock was hard as a rock doing this and I will do it again. I am looking for a way to get my wife to tie me up and do this to me.

Thank you for conducting this important scientific expairiment. What will you put up your ass as a control?
Thank the goddess we live in a world where people look at a piece of fresh ginger and think to themselves "hmmmm...I wonder how it would feel if I shoved this up my ass."

Ouch. And yikes! You're a better woman than I.
Couldn't do it, since I have an intense aversion to pain.

Ginger twisty's! Wow is all I can say. We figged yesterday. My Mistress had me butt up and she fucked me with it twisting the ginger around and caning me intermittently. The more the ginger burnt, the harder my cock became the more I wanked and begged for a harder caning. I was going crazy and stayed hard for ages. Hence a pretty serve caning ensued. Now I am not that much of a pain slut and most of time only like gentle canings or spankings - but not this time. I couldn’t feel the cane much and I had a massive orgasm as she spun the ginger in my arse. Today I pay though as my arse is bruised and sore from the caning but the ginger burn goes away quickly and the whole experience was well worth it. I would say having your partner involved is ideal as they can move the ginger, masturbate you etc and you can concentrate on the sensations which to me were the ultimate fine line between pleasure and pain. All over experience was excellent I cannot wait for another session.
